What to wear first day at fund

Hey guys, starting at a hedge fund next monday. Not sure what to wear first day, as all of my interviewers there were wearing very casual clothes (usually dark jeans/dress pants, casual dress shirt or sweater). Do you think I should still rock a suit on day one?

I would ask. If not, stick to the navy/black suit and white shirt.
